- 2 eggs

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare ungreased cookie sheets.

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a smooth dough.

Form Cookies: Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.

Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes. This helps them set before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
